12 new house-guests — including “Survivor” veteran Russell Hantz’s brother — will compete for the $500,000 grand prize during the 14th season of “Big Brother.” The season premieres Thurs., July 12 at 9 p.m. ET with Julie Chen as host.

There is a twist: four previous successful house-guests will join the twelve new house-guests. The previous guests will be revealed during the season premiere. However, these house-guests will play their own game for a separate prize. The returning house-guests and their agendas will be announced during the season premiere.

She’s a wonderful addition to the H50 family and the fans will certainly enjoy what we have in store for her. Let’s just say that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”
